Vintage Venetian Sommerso Fancy Glass Beads Beaded Necklace

Description

Here is a Vintage Venetian Sommerso Fancy Beads beaded necklace featuring these molded/shaped Venetian glass beads which look like wedding cake beads (pink "roses", blue/white "forget-me-nots", yellow dot for the missing "daisy") but are lacking the gold band. Instead we have this incredible bit of bead glass making magic. Sommerso is Italian for "sunken." You can see sparkly avventurina swimming around light blue centers sunken into clear glass. The shape is an irregular tabular shape. I love the diversity of Sommerso glass beads.
Necklace is 18" long making this a choker type necklace. There are 21 Venetian Sommerso fancy beads. There are 19 large chunky types measuring 16 mm and the 2 smaller beads at the ends measure 6 mm. Each of the chunky type beads has its own pair of brass filigree bead caps. There are 22 brass accent beads. The entire necklace is strung on wire. The age appropriate brass screw together clasp completes the piece.
I see no issues with the glass beads. There is some verdigris on some of the bead caps. Since these glass beads are made by hand there will be variations in style, size, and decor. Please study the pictures
